#shorts On 4/27/2023, in response to questions from Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied the question was submitted to the White House in advance, instead claiming the White House simply anticipated the question Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian would ask. “We do not have specific questions in advance,” Jean-Pierre said. But reporter Jon Decker was not buying the explanation. “Is it your contention that the question on the so-called cheat sheet was not similar to the question that was asked at the press conference?” he interjected. Jean-Pierre, however, refused to answer the question. She accused Decker of interrupting Heinrich, though the Fox News reporter was not speaking at the time Decker asked his question. In fact, it appeared that Jean-Pierre was about to call on another reporter when Decker asked his question.

Q: cheat sheet was not similar to question asked? A: can you wait your turn?
Reporter: Is it your contention, Karine —
Reporter: And just, Karine — I’m sorry —
Reporter: Is it your contention, Karine, that the question —
MS. Jean-Pierre: I’m not — I’m not taking call —
Reporter: — that the question that —
MS. Jean-Pierre: Jacqui’s not done. Go ahead, Jacqui.
Reporter: — was on the so-called cheat sheet was not —
MS. Jean-Pierre: Jacqui. Your colleague —
Reporter: — similar to the question that was asked at the press conference?
MS. Jean-Pierre: Your colleague is not done. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Reporter: Thank you, Karine.
Reporter: But — but I — it’s very reasonable question I’m asking you.
Reporter: Just — just to be clear, to — to —
MS. Jean-Pierre: No, but I — I hear you.
Reporter: It’s a very reasonable —
MS. Jean-Pierre: Can you — can you wait your turn? Let —
Reporter: Absolutely. Thank you, thank you.
MS. Jean-Pierre: Thank you. Thank you, John. I appreciate that. I really do.

After Heinrich asked two more questions, Jean-Pierre said she would take a question from the back of the press room — Decker sits toward the front — and he called her out on it. “You literally just told me you would come back to me,” he said. Accusing Decker of “screaming,” Jean-Pierre responded, “but now we’re running out of time.” She never called on Decker and she did not answer his question, either directly or in substance.

Q: you literally just told me you would come back to me A: Yeah, you also — you also screamed
MS. Jean-Pierre: Okay. Let me just take a question from the back.
Reporter: May I —
Reporter: Karine —
MS. Jean-Pierre: Well, I — I just took a bunch of questions on this. I want —
Reporter: You just — you literally just told me you would come back to me.
Reporter: Separate — different question.
MS. Jean-Pierre: Yeah, you also — you also screamed —
Reporter: But you literally just told me — you literally just told me you would come back to me.
MS. Jean-Pierre: I said, “Wait your turn,” but now we’re running out of time.
Go ahead, Ed. Go ahead, Ed. Go ahead, Ed.
